How to Make Southern Iron Skillet Buttermilk Cornbread

Start mixing all of the ingredients together and add more buttermilk as needed. This is a thick batter, don't make it too thin.

Take an 8" or 10" skillet and heat 2 tablespoons of oil in it. When it is hot, pour the batter into the skillet and bake for about 40 minutes. Check it at 30 minutes. When it is nice and golden and a toothpick comes out clean, it is done.
